Here’s what’s new and coming soon to MUBI UK this week:

Funny Face – Saturday 19th September

How do you improve a musical by George Gershwin? Get Fred Astaire to reprise his role on screen, then hire Audrey Hepburn to star opposite him. Stanley Donen’s 1957 musical, about a fashion photographer who takes over a book store to use for a shoot – only to fall for the owner.

Moon – Sunday 20th September
